Evidence for Better Transactions
DataDriven supports business owners, investors and companies throughout acquisitions, disposals and strategic investments. We combine market intelligence, commercial analysis, financial expertise and sector knowledge to help clients understand the value, risks and strategic potential of a transaction. Our team can manage the full advisory process or deliver an independent workstream within a wider transaction team.
Advisory Across the Transaction Lifecycle
M&A Strategy
We define transaction objectives, assess strategic options and identify the markets, sectors and types of businesses that best support the client’s growth priorities.
Target and Buyer Identification
We screen potential acquisition targets, investors and strategic buyers, assess their relevance and prepare prioritised longlists and shortlists for engagement.
Buy-Side Advisory
We support buyers from initial market assessment and target screening through due diligence, valuation, transaction structuring and negotiations.
Sell-Side Advisory
We help owners and management teams prepare a business for sale, develop its investment narrative, organise transaction materials and engage potential buyers or investors.
Valuation and Financial Modelling
We develop financial models, scenario analyses and valuation ranges to assess transaction economics, funding requirements and potential returns.
Post-Merger Integration
We help translate the transaction rationale into an actionable integration plan covering governance, operations, systems, teams and performance priorities.
Integrated Due Diligence
A coordinated assessment of the factors that shape transaction value, risk and strategic fit.
Market Due Diligence
We assess market size, growth, structure, regulation, demand drivers, competitive dynamics and future scenarios to determine the attractiveness of the target market.
Commercial and Business Due Diligence
We examine the target’s business model, customer base, revenue drivers, competitive position, sales channels, operational capabilities and growth plan.
Vendor Due Diligence
We provide an independent assessment of a business before it enters the market, helping sellers identify material issues, prepare supporting evidence and reduce uncertainty for potential buyers.
Financial Due Diligence
Together with specialised financial experts, we review earnings quality, assets and liabilities, working capital, cash flows, debt, financial forecasts and the assumptions underlying the valuation.
Legal Due Diligence
In coordination with qualified legal advisers, we examine corporate structure, ownership, licences, material agreements, employment matters, intellectual property, disputes and regulatory exposure.
Integrity & Reputational Due Diligence
We verify ownership, management backgrounds, business track record and declared activities, and identify sanctions, politically exposed persons, adverse media, litigation and reputational risks.
ESG & Sustainability Due Diligence
We assess environmental, social and governance risks that may affect enterprise value, access to finance, regulatory compliance or the long-term resilience of the business.
